Sixty years ago today, the National Academy of Engineering was established with the stroke of a pen when the National Academy of Sciences Council formally approved its creation. These historical photos from the NAE’s early years capture some of the Academy's foundational moments. Today, the NAE’s growing diversity strengthens an incredible community of members who continue to drive innovation and engineering excellence. #NAE60 Photo details: • Top Left - The NAE Industrial Mission to Sweden, an exchange visit arranged by the NAE and the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (1985). • Bottom Left - The Academy building in Washington, D.C.
